"To read news on this site, you must give permission to: Your phone Your camera All your files " I've never seen that on a web app, but it's de rigeur for native mobile.

Meanwhile webapps can potentially report on everything you do that touches your browser and at most you might have to acknowledge a cookie stored on your browser.

News readers requesting that level of access is bad, but at least they tell you when they're invading your privacy.
